The northern boundaries for the Korean Peninsula are commonly (and tacitly) taken to coincide with today's political borders between North Korea and her northern neighbors, China (1,416 km (880 mi) along the provinces of Jilin and Liaoning) and Russia (19 km (12 mi)). These borders are formed naturally by the rivers Yalu/Amnok and Tumen/Tuman/Duman. Taking this definition, the Korean Peninsula (including its islands) has an area of 220,847 km2 (85,270 sq mi).

South Korea's defence ministry held a special ceremony in Seoul on Tuesday to welcome the newly appointed commander of US Forces Korea, General James D. Thurman.
Thurman was officially welcomed by Han Min-koo, the chairman of South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff.
They reviewed an honour guard of soldiers wearing traditional Korean uniforms and paraded in an open-top vehicle.
Thurman assumed command of US and United Nations forces on the Korean peninsula on July 14, replacing General Walter Sharp.
His appointment comes amid high tension between the Koreas.
Seoul has blamed a North Korean torpedo for the sinking of a South Korean warship in March 2010 which killed 46 sailors - a charge North Korea denies.
And, in November 2010, North Korea shelled a front-line South Korean island, killing four people.
The Korean peninsula has remained in a technical state of war since the 1950-53 Korean War ended in an armistice.
No peace treaty has been signed.
The United States has about 28,500 troops in South Korea.

5. Mid of Goldberg at podium
STORYLINE:
At the end of a tour aimed at implementing tough United Nations sanctions against North Korea, US envoy Philip Goldberg emphasised his main goal of denuclearisation at a news conference on Wednesday.
"Our overall goal in this effort is to return to a process of denuclearisation, an end to missile, ballistic missile production and an end to proliferation from North Korea," he told reporters in Tokyo.
Goldberg has been travelling around Asia speaking to officials about ways to implement the sanctions meant to derail North Korea's nuclear weapons programme.
On Tuesday he met with Japan's chief nuclear negotiator Akitaka Saiki.
Goldberg has also visited Singapore, Bangkok and Seoul during his trip.
Before departing on his Asia tour, Goldberg said the measures against the North will continue until its government takes irreversible action to scrap its nuclear programme.
The UN sanctions strengthened an arms embargo and authorised ship searches on the high seas to try to rein in the North's nuclear programme.
They also ordered an asset freeze and travel ban on companies and individuals linked to the programme.

STORYLINE:
Members of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea gathered in Imjingak on Friday morning to hold a Mass to pray for peace on the Korean Peninsula and for the unification of the North and the South.
About 20,000 people, including Catholic priests and believers from sixteen different parishes participated in the event. It is eight years since the last such Mass took place.
During the Mass, participants carried a flag of the Korean Peninsula and released dove shaped balloons into the air.
The peace Mass was held every year from 1987 to 1995, but since then has only taken place twice, in 2000 and 2003.
Ties between the two Koreas remain strained.
The two nations are still technically at war because their 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

STORYLINE
The US commander of military forces in South Korea on Wednesday warned North Korea "to cease its development and testing of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction".
As General Walter Sharp gave the warning in Seoul, city dwellers stopped their cars, donned gas masks and ducked into underground shelters in the country's biggest-ever evacuation drill - a government attempt to prepare traditionally indifferent citizens for possible new attacks by North Korea.
Fears of war on the divided Korean peninsula have intensified since the rivals fired artillery shells at each other last month across their western sea border.
Four South Koreans on a front-line island were killed; the North's casualties are unknown.
Many South Koreans have become used to regular North Korean threats to turn the South into a "sea of fire" and have reacted coolly to civil drills in the past.
There was widespread anger and shock, however, over the North's November 23 artillery bombardment of South Korea's Yeonpyeong Island.
It was North Korea's first assault targeting a civilian area since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War. Both Koreas accuse each other of staging the first provocation.
The North claims that South Korea fired artillery toward its territorial waters, while South Korea says it launched shells southward, not toward North Korea, as part of routine exercises.
The nationwide 20-minute evacuation drills on Wednesday were the largest since the country began the training in 1975.

Regional diplomacy surrounding Korean Peninsula to be in full swing at annual se

The ASEAN， hosts a series of regional conferences every summer.
Included on that list is the 27－member ASEAN Regional Forum， one of the few multinational platforms North Korea participates in.
From the regime′s nuclear arms program to historical differences in Northeast Asia， our Choi You－sun takes us through some of the key issues that will top the agenda.
While North Korea is expected to attend this year′s gathering of foreign ministers at the ASEAN Regional Forum， observers in South Korea are zooming in on whether the South′s Foreign Minister Yun Byung－se will meet one－on－one with his North Korean counterpart Ri Su－yong.
Seoul keeps the door open to inter－Korean dialogue， but the two diplomats may not have a meaningful encounter amid frosty relations.
Pyongyang， meanwhile， will likely seek to mend ties with its traditional ally China， gone sour under the leadership of Kim Jong－un.
In the wake of the international nuclear deal with Iran， countries participating in multinational efforts to denuclearize the North are hoping for a similar resolution.
On the sidelines of next week′s conference， Seoul， Washington and Tokyo are expected to reaffirm their shared goal of bringing Pyongyang back to the stalled six－party talks， while pressuring Beijing to persuade its ally.
South Korea′s top nuclear envoy Hwang Joon－kook has said the North is at a crossroads between completion of its nuclear arms development and denuclearization through dialogue.
This， however， may be a long shot， since the North， calling itself a nuclear state， said it was not interested in any re－negotiation whatsoever over its nuclear weapons program.
The South Korean foreign minister is also expected to meet his Japanese counterpart， to urge Tokyo to responsibly resolve issues concerning Japan′s atrocities during its colonization of the Korean Peninsula.
It， however， remains to be seen whether Seoul′s diplomatic efforts will result in Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe upholding Tokyo′s past apologies for its wartime aggressions in his expected statement， to mark the 70th anniversary of Japan′s surrender in World War Two.

STORYLINE:
South Korean peace activists held a rally in Seoul on Sunday calling for the peaceful reunification of North and South Korea on the anniversary of the Korean peninsula's liberation from Japanese rule in 1945.
About 1,500 activists gathered for the rally in front of Seoul's railway station, waving flags and placards and chanting slogans demanding peace and unification.
The Chairman of Korean Farmers Federation, Lee Kwang-suk, said his organisation would gather so-called "unification rice" to send to the North.
"If the South Korean unification ministry does not allow us to send it, we, the Korean Farmers Federation, will still move forward with sending the rice to our North Korean brothers in the name of the South Korean people," he said.
The group is calling for the resumption of rice aid to North Korea, in which surplus rice from South Korea is sent over the border.
Seoul was a major aid donor to the North when it sought detente on the divided peninsula under two previous liberal administrations.
But such aid stopped after conservative South Korean President Lee Myung-bak took office with criticism of unconditional assistance to the North.
The rally came as Lee used a speech marking the 65th anniversary of Korea's liberation at the end of World War II to outline a path for the peninsula's eventual reunification.
Lee urged North Korea to abandon military provocations and make a "courageous change" toward peace.
North Korea didn't immediately respond to the proposal but issued a warning that its military would be "merciless" in its retaliation against joint military exercises planned this week by South Korea and the United States.
Relations between the two Koreas are at their lowest point in years following the March sinking of a South Korean warship in which 46 sailors were killed.
An international investigation blamed the sinking of the Cheonan on North Korea, but Pyongyang denies attacking the ship.
In a nationally televised speech marking the anniversary on Sunday, Lee said his government would not tolerate another such "provocation" and called the ship's sinking an "unprovoked attack."
He said South Korea should prepare for unification with North Korea by studying measures including the adoption of a unification tax aimed at raising money for the costs of integration.
Lee proposed a three-stage unification process in which the two Koreas would first form a "peace community" involving denuclearisation of the peninsula, then an "economic community" for cross-border economic integration, and eventually a "community of the Korean nation" with no institutional barriers between them.
The Korean peninsula was divided after the end of Japanese rule and officially remains in a state of conflict because the Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

WFWP International over the years has been involved in efforts for unification. In 2007, over 500 women from around the world went to North Korea and engaged in a Peace conference which culminated in a sisterhood ceremony of peace.
The founder of WFWP Mrs. Hak Ja Han, said in one of her speeches. ”It has always been a clear objective of our federation to carry out a number of activities that will aid the reunification of the Korean peninsula. Women have to take the lead in both national and global unification by providing an example through education base on a true value system and the practice of true love.” It has been a long-standing goal of the WFWP to promote a peaceful and harmonious reunification of the Korean peninsula..
For 70 years Korea has been divided between north and south, causing the fracture of entire extended families that remain to this day, grieving and longing to see their loved ones. The founder of WFWP, Mrs. Hak Ja Han, is herself from one such family. The United States has played the pivotal role of maintaining peace on the Korean peninsula, which has enabled the two parties to resist engagement in the destruction of their peoples.
Women's Federation for World Peace, as an ECOSCO DPI organization in the United Nations, promotes global and local peace efforts hosting educational, service and empowerment events with the goal to live in civil and harmonious relationships with each other. One of our best-known signature projects to encourage this is the "Bridge of Peace".
In the U.S. Over the past 23 years, WFWP fostered reconciliation between former enemy nations (such as Japan and the United States; African American and Caucasian) where women from both countries crossed the bridge and embraced, beginning a life-long relationship of sisterhood. These events and more, led to President Clinton acknowledging the Bridge of Peace Ceremony as "a promising practice".

On March 11, Seoul and Washington launched a week-long annual joint military maneuver near the Korean Peninsula despite warnings from Pyongyang. The maneuver involved 10,000 South Korean soldiers and about 3,000 US troops. Pyongyang said henceforth "the North-South relations will be entering a state of war and all issues raised between the North and the South will be handled accordingly."
"The long-standing situation of the Korean Peninsula being neither at peace nor at war is finally over," said a statement issued jointly by the government, political parties and other organizations. Pyongyang also warned that if Washington and Seoul launched a preemptive attack, the conflict "will not be limited to a local war, but develop into an all-out war, a nuclear war."
Last week, North Korea said that its military should be prepared to attack "all US military bases in the Asia-Pacific region, including the US mainland, Hawaii, and Guam" and South Korea. The announcement came days after South Korea and the US signed a new military pact in response to what they called even low-level provocations by Pyongyang.
The United States says it has deployed a second guided-missile destroyer in the Pacific to waters off the Korean Peninsula as tensions mount with North Korea.

Korean cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change. Originating from ancient agricultural and nomadic traditions in the Korean peninsula and southern Manchuria, Korean cuisine has evolved through a complex interaction of the natural environment and different cultural trends.[2][3]
Korean cuisine is largely based upon rice, vegetables, and meats. Traditional Korean meals are noted for the number of side dishes (banchan) that accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. Kimchi is served often, sometimes at every meal. Commonly used ingredients include sesame

Koreas DMZ - Looking inside North Korea

South Korea Travel Video Guide: South Korea, formally the Republic of Korea is a country in East Asia. South Korea occupies the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, with North Korea to the north, China across the sea to the west and Japan a short ferry ride to the southeast.
Archeological finds of prehistoric toolmaking on the Korean Peninsula date back to 70,000 BC, and the first pottery is found around 8000 BC. Comb-pattern pottery culture peaked around 3500-2000 BC.
Legend has it that Korea began with the founding of Gojoseon (also called Ancient Chosun) by the legendary Dangun in 2333 BC. Archeological and contemporaneous written records of Gojoseon as a kingdom date back to around 7th-4th century BC. Gojoseon was eventually defeated by the Chinese Han Dynasty and its territories were governed by four Chinese commanderies. The political chaos following the fall of the Han Dynasty in China allowed native tribes to regain control of Korea and led to the emergence of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, namely Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje. Despite repeated attempts by China, namely the Sui Dynasty and later the Tang Dynasty, to conquer the Korean Peninsula, northern-based Goguryeo managed to repel them. Eventually, Goguryeo fell to a Silla-Tang alliance, which had earlier defeated Baekje. This unified Korea under the Silla dynasty. Even though Tang later invaded, Silla forces managed to drive them out, thus maintaining Korea's independence.
Unified Silla was replaced by the Goryeo (also called Koryo) dynasty, from which the modern name "Korea" derives. One highlight of the Goryeo dynasty was that in 1234 the world's first metal movable type was invented by a Korean named Choe Yun-ui (200 years before Gutenberg's printing press). Goryeo was replaced by the Joseon (also called Chosun) dynasty, after a coup by one of its generals. The Joseon dynasty ruled Korea from 1392 to 1910, being one of the longest actively ruling dynasties in world history. It was during the early part of the Joseon dynasty that Korean technological inventions such as the world's first water clock, ironclad ship, and other innovations took place. During the rule of King Sejong the Great, the world's first rain gauge was invented and the Korean alphabet known as hangul was created.

Academics still quibble over whether the Land of the Morning Calm (a term coined by travel writer Percival Lowell in 1885) is an accurate translation of the old Chinese characters by which all of Korea was once known. Dive into Seoul, powerhouse of Asia's third-largest economy, and calm is likely the last thing you'll feel. This round-the-clock city is constantly on the move, its 'work hard, play hard' population the epitome of the nation's indefatigable, can-do spirit.

South Korea, located on the peninsula between Japan and China, is a nation of contradictions. You’ll find an ancient culture that goes back thousands of years, bolstered by high-tech industries and glowing modern cities. These elements, seemingly at odds, often mix together to create a truly unique experience.
Your Korea tour begins with Seoul, a mega-city full of theatres, casinos, restaurants, and pubs. If you love shopping, you’re in luck: Korea loves nothing better than offering a chance for some good purchases. Entire districts are devoted to stores, vendors, and malls, so make sure your credit card is ready to go.
If you’re engaging in some sightseeing in Korea, you can’t go wrong with a dedicated visit to the many temples and palaces that dot the country. Many of these sacred locations are adorned with ponds, moats, and trees, allowing you to get back in touch with nature while you explore this nation’s vast history.
Stop by the museums and galleries of your choice to get a taste of the local modern culture. You’ll find fine art, eccentric modern pieces, and everything in between—and best of all, you can stop for delicious Korean food on just about any corner.

Train travel from China to Cult Korea: Beijing-Pyongyang. May 2010. See Videos 2, 3 and 4 for the walking tour of NK. This was a propaganda tour that brings tourists to the country's showcase cities and fertile regions. These videos give people thinking about visiting NK an overview of what they will see there (A variety of tours are offered but itineraries are often similar). These videos are neither truncated nor narrated. Footage is exclusive to regions in N. Korea where the elite population resides. Therefore you will not see how the majority of N. Koreans live, with oppression, famine, lack of human rights and medical care, or the most unfortunate 150,000 political victims living in Soviet Gulag/Nazi Concentration style camps.
South Korea maintains a cowardly and disturbing indifference to the large scale atrocities occurring in North Korea. In the 60 years since the division of the Korean Peninsula, South Korweakens have lost their sense of unity and urgency.
S. Korea has overwhelming military and non-military options if it wanted the Northern regime to collapse. It does not need to wait forever on the the vastly useless and toothless UN to solve South Korea's problem. Yet, the SK government and inhabitants are shockingly content with maintaining their segregation due to the massive financial costs of rebuilding the North's infrastructure and rehabilitating a mentally/physically stunted and uneducated population. Even though the reunification costs increases each year, the Holocaust stays alive because information connected South Korea ignores the suffering when they are morally responsible and fully capable of taking back their own country.
The S. Korean government downplays the N. Korean human rights abuses and over-hypes North Korea's military capacity to discourage citizens from talking about the necessity of freeing Korea. South Korea has 50 times greater GDP and generations more advance military, yet cowers to a starving, impoverished country with antique armaments.
N. Korean refugees are not warmly received in S. Korean society. South Korea does not voice opposition to China's illegal forced repatriation of N. Korean refugees, of which there may be over 100,000. When men, women and children are repatriated back to North Korea, they face cruel punishment and imprisonment, or if they had communicated with Westerners or religious groups, they are tortured and/or executed. Yet, this does not concern or alarm the prosperous South Koreans. North Korean lives are dispensable to them.
And this is all great news for tourists wanting to see a Stalinist/Maoist country in the 21st century. So no need to rush, you still have plenty of time to visit. The UN is powerless, and South Korea is spineless. If you want to help North Korean civilians, I recommend visiting HRNK (The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea) and the UK Manna Mission of Europe (which operates bakeries to feed NK children).

Train travel from China to Cult Korea: Beijing-Pyongyang. May 2010. See Videos 2, 3 and 4 for the walking tour of NK. This was a propaganda tour that brings tourists to the country's showcase cities and fertile regions. These videos give people thinking about visiting NK an overview of what they will see there (A variety of tours are offered but itineraries are often similar). These videos are neither truncated nor narrated. Footage is exclusive to regions in N. Korea where the elite population resides. Therefore you will not see how the majority of N. Koreans live, with oppression, famine, lack of human rights and medical care, or the most unfortunate 150,000 political victims living in Soviet Gulag/Nazi Concentration style camps.
South Korea maintains a cowardly and disturbing indifference to the large scale atrocities occurring in North Korea. In the 60 years since the division of the Korean Peninsula, South Korweakens have lost their sense of unity and urgency.
S. Korea has overwhelming military and non-military options if it wanted the Northern regime to collapse. It does not need to wait forever on the the vastly useless and toothless UN to solve South Korea's problem. Yet, the SK government and inhabitants are shockingly content with maintaining their segregation due to the massive financial costs of rebuilding the North's infrastructure and rehabilitating a mentally/physically stunted and uneducated population. Even though the reunification costs increases each year, the Holocaust stays alive because information connected South Korea ignores the suffering when they are morally responsible and fully capable of taking back their own country.

WORLD TRAVEL (EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA, AMERICAS...)
Korean cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change. Originating from ancient agricultural and nomadic traditions in the Korean peninsula and southern Manchuria, Korean cuisine has evolved through a complex interaction of the natural environment and different cultural trends.[2][3]
Korean cuisine is largely based upon rice, vegetables, and meats. Traditional Korean meals are noted for the number of side dishes (banchan) that accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. Kimchi is served often, sometimes at every meal. Commonly used ingredients include sesame oil, doenjang (fermented bean paste), soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes and gochujang (fermented red chili paste).
Ingredients and dishes vary by province. Many regional dishes have become national, and dishes that were once regional have proliferated in different variations across the country. The Korean royal court cuisine once brought all of the unique regional specialties together for the royal family. Meals are regulated by Korean cultural etiquette.
Thank You!
God Bless

It’s the dream for most of Korea’s older generation: unify the peninsula. Unfortunately, that’s all it is at this point - a dream. Without a collapse or deal brokered with the Kim up north, the tense relationship with the other Korea will continue for the foreseeable future.
But what does unification look like?
Seoul-based reporter Chance Dorland, a broadcast journalist in South Korea who runs the website Seoul It Up, took up the topic on his recent trip to Germany.
What do you think? Should the Korea’s unify? If so, what lessons can be learned from Germany and what steps should be taken?

Japan is a country that is dying—literally. Japan has more people over the age of 65 and the smallest number of people under the age of 15 in the world. It has the fastest negative population growth in the world, and that's because hardly anyone is having babies. In these difficult times, the Japanese are putting marriage and families on the back burner and seeking recreational love and affection as a form of cheap escape with no strings attached. We sent Ryan Duffy to investigate this phenomenon, which led him to Tokyo's cuddle cafes and Yakuza-sponsored prostitution rings.

Typhoon Chan Hom weakens as it moves northeast

China's weather authority has downgraded the alert for typhoon Chan-Hom, which continues to weaken as it moves toward the northeast. The typhoon is expected to lessen to a tropical storm before tracking into the Korean Peninsula.
Rainstorms are expected to occur in Shandong, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang. Authorities in Zhejiang, where Chan-Hom first landed, say the typhoon may be the strongest in decades.

Peninsula Inside Ep14 Naengmyeon, a North Korean Summer Delicacy

Every summer, diners line up outside a well-known Seoul restaurant, waiting to get a taste of cold noodles, or naengmyeon. South Korea′s iconic summer dish originates in North Korea, as the names of the two main varieties of naengmyeon, Pyongyang naengmyeon and Hamhung naengmyeon, suggest. What makes the North Korean delicacy so popular in South Korea and how did it find its way to the South? We talked to a North Korean defector who once worked at Okryukwan, a Pyongyang-based franchise noodle house to find out more.
여름철 서울의 유명 냉면 맛집 앞은 줄서서 기다리는 사람들로 진풍경을 이루기 일쑤. 그런데, 남한의 여름 별미인 냉면의 원조는 바로 북한의 평양냉면과 함흥냉면이라는 사실! 과연 북한 냉면은 어떤 맛이며, 북한 음식인 냉면이 한

Weather conditions in the Korean Peninsula for the last few days were completely different from one region to another. Heavy showers soaked the southern parts of the nation， including Seogwipo in Jeju island with 265 millimeters of torrential rain，... while Seoul only saw 3.5millimeters over the past two days.
Thursday was muggy under party sunny skies in the capital and tomorrow is shaping up to be even hotter... with highs expected to soar to 33. Tomorrow′s UV index is also expected to stand between high and very high， so it′s best if you avoid being outside in the afternoon.

The North Korea nuclear program in the 1990s almost brought a major crisis to the Korean peninsula. War was averted, but it was clear that the United States was considering military options at the time. The tensions were only resolved when former President Jimmy Carter offered to mediate the dispute. It looked like major developments towards peace might take place, but the sudden death of Kim Il Sung brought an end to this promisi

Coming up today,... a weakening tropical storm Chan-hom moves further north,.. but it′s still lashing Korea′s southern regions with heavy rain and strong winds.
A full summit of all EU members has been cancelled while difficult eurozone talks on a third bailout deal for Greece continue in Brussels.
Plus,... as Tokyo attempts to whitewash history,... another document has emerged that proves Japan forced Koreans into slave labor at a controversial World War Two site that recently won UNESCO World Heritage recognition. Stay tuned for these stories and more.
Hello.... to our viewers around the world, it′s 6 a.m. on Monday, July thirteenth here in Seoul.
Thanks for joining us,... I′m Mark Broome.
Title: Typhoon Chan-hom hits Korean peninsula
We start with weather-related news...
And Typhoon Chan-hom, that′s since been downgraded to a tropical storm,... is currently heading north across North Korea and is expected to continue weakening as it passes over Pyongyang later in the day.
South Korea′s weather agency says a typhoon watch issued earlier in parts of South Korea has been lifted.
Chan-hom has brought heavy downpours to the southern part of the peninsula, with mountainous regions of Jeju Island receiving more than 14-hundred millimeters of precipitation so far.
Strong winds also toppled trees and traffic lights in the southern regions.
Fortunately,... no casualties have been reported.
Title: Korea, U.S. form task force to investigate wrong anthrax shipment
The Korean government has organized a task force with the United States to investigate an erroneous shipment of live anthrax to a U.S. base in Korea back in April.
Korea′s foreign ministry says the task force, formed under the joint Seoul-Washington committee on the Status of Forces Agreement, will review the incident and work to prevent a re-occurrence.
The two countries will hold separate committee meetings on Wednesday to discuss the shipment, review how the countries responded to the incident and outline priorities for the task force.
The Status of Forces Agreement governs the legal status of some 28-thousand and 500 U.S. troops stationed in Korea since the Korean War, which ended in an armistice back in 1953.
Title: Newly released document proves Japan forced Koreans into labor
A newly released document proves Japan forced Koreans into slave labor at a controversial World War Two site that recently gained UNESCO World Heritage recognition.
Kim Moon-gil..., an honorary professor of Busan University of Foreign Studies,... helped Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency obtain the three-page document from an undisclosed Japanese museum.
The document was written by the Yamano Coal Mine and calls for the construction of a barbed wire fence on a wall surrounding a dormitory for Korean workers to prevent them from climbing over it.
The mine, located near Fukuoka, was operated by Mitsubishi.

China's weather authority has downgraded the alert for typhoon Chan-Hom, which continues to weaken as it moves toward the northeast. The typhoon is expected to lessen to a tropical storm before tracking into the Korean Peninsula.
Rainstorms are expected to occur in Shandong, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang. Authorities in Zhejiang, where Chan-Hom first landed, say the typhoon may be the strongest in decades.

November 1950, the Korean Peninsula: After General MacArthur ignores Mao’s warnings and pushes his UN forces deep into North Korea, his 10,000 First Division Marines find themselves surrounded and hopelessly outnumbered by 100,000 Chinese soldiers near the Chosin Reservoir. Their only chance for survival is to fight their way south through the Toktong Pass, a narrow gorge that will need to be held open at all costs. The mission is handed to Captain William Barber and the 234 Marines of Fox Company, a courageous but undermanned unit of the First Marines. Barber and his men climb seven miles of frozen terrain to a rocky promontory overlooking the pass, where they will endure four days and five nights of nearly continuous Chinese attempts to take Fox Hill. Amid the relentless violence, three-quarters of Fox’s Marines are killed, wounded, or captured. Just when it looks like they will be overrun, Lt. Colonel Raymond Davis, a fearless Marine officer who is fighting south from Chosin, volunteers to lead a daring mission that will seek to cut a hole in the Chinese lines and relieve the men of Fox. This is a fast-paced and gripping account of heroism in the face of impossible odds.

Barber and his men climb seven miles of frozen terrain to a rocky promontory overlooking the pass, where they will endure four days and five nights of nearly continuous Chinese attempts to take Fox Hill. Amid the relentless violence, three-quarters of Fox’s Marines are killed, wounded, or captured. Just when it looks like they will be overrun, Lt. Colonel Raymond Davis, a fearless Marine officer who is fighting south from Chosin, volunteers to lead a daring mission that will seek to cut a hole in the Chinese lines and relieve the men of Fox. This is a fast-paced and gripping account of heroism in the face of impossible odds.

Korean Peninsula Episode 1

Set sometime in the near future, South Korea and North Korea's relations have blossomed. The two countries have co-built a development station for methane hydrate off the coast of North Korea. Scientist Seo Myung-Joon (Hwang Jung-Min) from South Korea is in charge of the project and works closely with scientist Lim Jin-Jae (Kim Jung-Eun) from North Korea. Other technicians and researchers from both countries work under them at the development station. During this time, North Korean leader Kim Tae-Sung (Seo Tae-Hwa) visits South Korea for the first time after becoming the North Korean leader. The president of South Korea Kang Dae-Hyun (Lee Soon-Jae) and North Korea leader Kim Tae-Sung watch a game between the inter-Korean team and the Australia team at the preliminary rounds of the World Cup. Meanwhile, hardliners in North Korea, Jo Kook-Cheol (Jeong Seong-Mo) and the military, carry out a military operation while their leader is in South Korea. The North Korean military relocate near the Korean boarder. At the development station, the technicians and scientists work together peacefully, but there is still tension. Lim Jin-Jae receives an order to steal the core technology behind the operation. Min Dong-Ki (Kwak Hee-Sung) pushes her to carry out the order, but Lim Jin-Jae turns down the order. Lim Jin-Jae and Seo Myung-Joon first met 10 years ago and fell in love. They then reunited 2 years ago and discovered that their feelings are not so easy to forget .

STORYLINE:
South Korea's defence ministry held a special ceremony in Seoul on Tuesday to welcome the newly appointed commander of US Forces Korea, General James D. Thurman.
Thurman was officially welcomed by Han Min-koo, the chairman of South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff.
They reviewed an honour guard of soldiers wearing traditional Korean uniforms and paraded in an open-top vehicle.
Thurman assumed command of US and United Nations forces on the Korean peninsula on July 14, replacing General Walter Sharp.
His appointment comes amid high tension between the Koreas.
Seoul has blamed a North Korean torpedo for the sinking of a South Korean warship in March 2010 which killed 46 sailors - a charge North Korea denies.
And, in November 2010, North Korea shelled a front-line South Korean island, killing four people.
The Korean peninsula has remained in a technical state of war since the 1950-53 Korean War ended in an armistice.
No peace treaty has been signed.
The United States has about 28,500 troops in South Korea.

US NKo Envoy says Korean peninsula denuclearisation is US goal

1. US envoy to North Korea, Philip Goldberg, walking into news conference
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Philip Goldberg, US Envoy to North Korea:
"Our overall goal in this effort is to return to a process of denuclearisation, an end to missile, ballistic missile production and an end to proliferation from North Korea. And our discussions in this regard in implementing the resolution were very much in conjunction with that overall goal."
3. Cutaway of news conference
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Philip Goldberg, US Envoy to North Korea:
"Our belief is that the six party talks, the multilateral approach to dealing with the issue, is a central part of our efforts. We do and have said that bilateral contacts and discussions can be part of that framework but the six party talks and multilateral approach remain central to the way we will proceed."
5. Mid of Goldberg at podium
STORYLINE:
At the end of a tour aimed at implementing tough United Nations sanctions against North Korea, US envoy Philip Goldberg emphasised his main goal of denuclearisation at a news conference on Wednesday.
"Our overall goal in this effort is to return to a process of denuclearisation, an end to missile, ballistic missile production and an end to proliferation from North Korea," he told reporters in Tokyo.
Goldberg has been travelling around Asia speaking to officials about ways to implement the sanctions meant to derail North Korea's nuclear weapons programme.
On Tuesday he met with Japan's chief nuclear negotiator Akitaka Saiki.
Goldberg has also visited Singapore, Bangkok and Seoul during his trip.
Before departing on his Asia tour, Goldberg said the measures against the North will continue until its government takes irreversible action to scrap its nuclear programme.
The UN sanctions strengthened an arms embargo and authorised ship searches on the high seas to try to rein in the North's nuclear programme.
They also ordered an asset freeze and travel ban on companies and individuals linked to the programme.

Members of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea gathered in Imjingak on Friday morning to hold a Mass to pray for peace on the Korean Peninsula and for the unification of the North and the South.
About 20,000 people, including Catholic priests and believers from sixteen different parishes participated in the event. It is eight years since the last such Mass took place.
During the Mass, participants carried a flag of the Korean Peninsula and released dove shaped balloons into the air.
The peace Mass was held every year from 1987 to 1995, but since then has only taken place twice, in 2000 and 2003.
Ties between the two Koreas remain strained.
The two nations are still technically at war because their 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

STORYLINE
The US commander of military forces in South Korea on Wednesday warned North Korea "to cease its development and testing of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction".
As General Walter Sharp gave the warning in Seoul, city dwellers stopped their cars, donned gas masks and ducked into underground shelters in the country's biggest-ever evacuation drill - a government attempt to prepare traditionally indifferent citizens for possible new attacks by North Korea.
Fears of war on the divided Korean peninsula have intensified since the rivals fired artillery shells at each other last month across their western sea border.
Four South Koreans on a front-line island were killed; the North's casualties are unknown.
Many South Koreans have become used to regular North Korean threats to turn the South into a "sea of fire" and have reacted coolly to civil drills in the past.
There was widespread anger and shock, however, over the North's November 23 artillery bombardment of South Korea's Yeonpyeong Island.
It was North Korea's first assault targeting a civilian area since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War. Both Koreas accuse each other of staging the first provocation.
The North claims that South Korea fired artillery toward its territorial waters, while South Korea says it launched shells southward, not toward North Korea, as part of routine exercises.
The nationwide 20-minute evacuation drills on Wednesday were the largest since the country began the training in 1975.

Regional diplomacy surrounding Korean Peninsula to be in full swing at annual se

Regional diplomacy surrounding Korean Peninsula to be in full swing at annual se

The ASEAN， hosts a series of regional conferences every summer.
Included on that list is the 27－member ASEAN Regional Forum， one of the few multinational platforms North Korea participates in.
From the regime′s nuclear arms program to historical differences in Northeast Asia， our Choi You－sun takes us through some of the key issues that will top the agenda.
While North Korea is expected to attend this year′s gathering of foreign ministers at the ASEAN Regional Forum， observers in South Korea are zooming in on whether the South′s Foreign Minister Yun Byung－se will meet one－on－one with his North Korean counterpart Ri Su－yong.
Seoul keeps the door open to inter－Korean dialogue， but the two diplomats may not have a meaningful encounter amid frosty relations.
Pyongyang， meanwhile， will likely seek to mend ties with its traditional ally China， gone sour under the leadership of Kim Jong－un.
In the wake of the international nuclear deal with Iran， countries participating in multinational efforts to denuclearize the North are hoping for a similar resolution.
On the sidelines of next week′s conference， Seoul， Washington and Tokyo are expected to reaffirm their shared goal of bringing Pyongyang back to the stalled six－party talks， while pressuring Beijing to persuade its ally.
South Korea′s top nuclear envoy Hwang Joon－kook has said the North is at a crossroads between completion of its nuclear arms development and denuclearization through dialogue.
This， however， may be a long shot， since the North， calling itself a nuclear state， said it was not interested in any re－negotiation whatsoever over its nuclear weapons program.
The South Korean foreign minister is also expected to meet his Japanese counterpart， to urge Tokyo to responsibly resolve issues concerning Japan′s atrocities during its colonization of the Korean Peninsula.
It， however， remains to be seen whether Seoul′s diplomatic efforts will result in Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe upholding Tokyo′s past apologies for its wartime aggressions in his expected statement， to mark the 70th anniversary of Japan′s surrender in World War Two.

STORYLINE:
South Korean peace activists held a rally in Seoul on Sunday calling for the peaceful reunification of North and South Korea on the anniversary of the Korean peninsula's liberation from Japanese rule in 1945.
About 1,500 activists gathered for the rally in front of Seoul's railway station, waving flags and placards and chanting slogans demanding peace and unification.
The Chairman of Korean Farmers Federation, Lee Kwang-suk, said his organisation would gather so-called "unification rice" to send to the North.
"If the South Korean unification ministry does not allow us to send it, we, the Korean Farmers Federation, will still move forward with sending the rice to our North Korean brothers in the name of the South Korean people," he said.
The group is calling for the resumption of rice aid to North Korea, in which surplus rice from South Korea is sent over the border.
Seoul was a major aid donor to the North when it sought detente on the divided peninsula under two previous liberal administrations.
But such aid stopped after conservative South Korean President Lee Myung-bak took office with criticism of unconditional assistance to the North.
The rally came as Lee used a speech marking the 65th anniversary of Korea's liberation at the end of World War II to outline a path for the peninsula's eventual reunification.
Lee urged North Korea to abandon military provocations and make a "courageous change" toward peace.
North Korea didn't immediately respond to the proposal but issued a warning that its military would be "merciless" in its retaliation against joint military exercises planned this week by South Korea and the United States.
Relations between the two Koreas are at their lowest point in years following the March sinking of a South Korean warship in which 46 sailors were killed.
An international investigation blamed the sinking of the Cheonan on North Korea, but Pyongyang denies attacking the ship.
In a nationally televised speech marking the anniversary on Sunday, Lee said his government would not tolerate another such "provocation" and called the ship's sinking an "unprovoked attack."
He said South Korea should prepare for unification with North Korea by studying measures including the adoption of a unification tax aimed at raising money for the costs of integration.
Lee proposed a three-stage unification process in which the two Koreas would first form a "peace community" involving denuclearisation of the peninsula, then an "economic community" for cross-border economic integration, and eventually a "community of the Korean nation" with no institutional barriers between them.
The Korean peninsula was divided after the end of Japanese rule and officially remains in a state of conflict because the Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

South Korea Travel Video Guide: South Korea, formally the Republic of Korea is a country in East Asia. South Korea occupies the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, with North Korea to the north, China across the sea to the west and Japan a short ferry ride to the southeast.
Archeological finds of prehistoric toolmaking on the Korean Peninsula date back to 70,000 BC, and the first pottery is found around 8000 BC. Comb-pattern pottery culture peaked around 3500-2000 BC.
Legend has it that Korea began with the founding of Gojoseon (also called Ancient Chosun) by the legendary Dangun in 2333 BC. Archeological and contemporaneous written records of Gojoseon as a kingdom date back to around 7th-4th century BC. Gojoseon was eventually defeated by the Chinese Han Dynasty and its territories were governed by four Chinese commanderies. The political chaos following the fall of the Han Dynasty in China allowed native tribes to regain control of Korea and led to the emergence of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, namely Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje. Despite repeated attempts by China, namely the Sui Dynasty and later the Tang Dynasty, to conquer the Korean Peninsula, northern-based Goguryeo managed to repel them. Eventually, Goguryeo fell to a Silla-Tang alliance, which had earlier defeated Baekje. This unified Korea under the Silla dynasty. Even though Tang later invaded, Silla forces managed to drive them out, thus maintaining Korea's independence.
Unified Silla was replaced by the Goryeo (also called Koryo) dynasty, from which the modern name "Korea" derives. One highlight of the Goryeo dynasty was that in 1234 the world's first metal movable type was invented by a Korean named Choe Yun-ui (200 years before Gutenberg's printing press). Goryeo was replaced by the Joseon (also called Chosun) dynasty, after a coup by one of its generals. The Joseon dynasty ruled Korea from 1392 to 1910, being one of the longest actively ruling dynasties in world history. It was during the early part of the Joseon dynasty that Korean technological inventions such as the world's first water clock, ironclad ship, and other innovations took place. During the rule of King Sejong the Great, the world's first rain gauge was invented and the Korean alphabet known as hangul was created.

Korea Travel Guide

Korea Travel Guide, Yin and yang: the blue and red circle at the heart of the South Korean flag neatly symbolises not only the divided Korean peninsula but also the fluid mix of ancient and modern aspects of the country officially called the Republic of Korea (ROK). For the vast majority of visitors a trip to this part of the world means spending time in South Korea. Unfairly overshadowed by the headline-grabbing antics of its bad-boy neighbour, South Korea is a dream destination for the traveller, an engaging, welcoming place where the dazzling benefits of a fully industrialised, high-tech nation are balanced alongside a reverence for tradition and the ways of old Asia.
Academics still quibble over whether the Land of the Morning Calm (a term coined by travel writer Percival Lowell in 1885) is an accurate translation of the old Chinese characters by which all of Korea was once known. Dive into Seoul, powerhouse of Asia's third-largest economy, and calm is likely the last thing you'll feel. This round-the-clock city is constantly on the move, its 'work hard, play hard' population the epitome of the nation's indefatigable, can-do spirit.

South Korea, located on the peninsula between Japan and China, is a nation of contradictions. You’ll find an ancient culture that goes back thousands of years, bolstered by high-tech industries and glowing modern cities. These elements, seemingly at odds, often mix together to create a truly unique experience.
Your Korea tour begins with Seoul, a mega-city full of theatres, casinos, restaurants, and pubs. If you love shopping, you’re in luck: Korea loves nothing better than offering a chance for some good purchases. Entire districts are devoted to stores, vendors, and malls, so make sure your credit card is ready to go.
If you’re engaging in some sightseeing in Korea, you can’t go wrong with a dedicated visit to the many temples and palaces that dot the country. Many of these sacred locations are adorned with ponds, moats, and trees, allowing you to get back in touch with nature while you explore this nation’s vast history.
Stop by the museums and galleries of your choice to get a taste of the local modern culture. You’ll find fine art, eccentric modern pieces, and everything in between—and best of all, you can stop for delicious Korean food on just about any corner.
What will you do in Korea?

Vice founder Shane Smith managed to get into North Korea after a year and half of trying and is witness to the craziness of this hermit nation.
Crazy is actually kind of an understatement.

Inside North Korea by an American Tourist - Part 1 of 4 HD (TRAIN PORTION)

Inside North Korea by an American Tourist - Part 1 of 4 HD (TRAIN PORTION)

Train travel from China to Cult Korea: Beijing-Pyongyang. May 2010. See Videos 2, 3 and 4 for the walking tour of NK. This was a propaganda tour that brings tourists to the country's showcase cities and fertile regions. These videos give people thinking about visiting NK an overview of what they will see there (A variety of tours are offered but itineraries are often similar). These videos are neither truncated nor narrated. Footage is exclusive to regions in N. Korea where the elite population resides. Therefore you will not see how the majority of N. Koreans live, with oppression, famine, lack of human rights and medical care, or the most unfortunate 150,000 political victims living in Soviet Gulag/Nazi Concentration style camps.
South Korea maintains a cowardly and disturbing indifference to the large scale atrocities occurring in North Korea. In the 60 years since the division of the Korean Peninsula, South Korweakens have lost their sense of unity and urgency.
S. Korea has overwhelming military and non-military options if it wanted the Northern regime to collapse. It does not need to wait forever on the the vastly useless and toothless UN to solve South Korea's problem. Yet, the SK government and inhabitants are shockingly content with maintaining their segregation due to the massive financial costs of rebuilding the North's infrastructure and rehabilitating a mentally/physically stunted and uneducated population. Even though the reunification costs increases each year, the Holocaust stays alive because information connected South Korea ignores the suffering when they are morally responsible and fully capable of taking back their own country.
The S. Korean government downplays the N. Korean human rights abuses and over-hypes North Korea's military capacity to discourage citizens from talking about the necessity of freeing Korea. South Korea has 50 times greater GDP and generations more advance military, yet cowers to a starving, impoverished country with antique armaments.
N. Korean refugees are not warmly received in S. Korean society. South Korea does not voice opposition to China's illegal forced repatriation of N. Korean refugees, of which there may be over 100,000. When men, women and children are repatriated back to North Korea, they face cruel punishment and imprisonment, or if they had communicated with Westerners or religious groups, they are tortured and/or executed. Yet, this does not concern or alarm the prosperous South Koreans. North Korean lives are dispensable to them.
And this is all great news for tourists wanting to see a Stalinist/Maoist country in the 21st century. So no need to rush, you still have plenty of time to visit. The UN is powerless, and South Korea is spineless. If you want to help North Korean civilians, I recommend visiting HRNK (The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea) and the UK Manna Mission of Europe (which operates bakeries to feed NK children).

WORLD TRAVEL (EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA, AMERICAS...)
Korean cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change. Originating from ancient agricultural and nomadic traditions in the Korean peninsula and southern Manchuria, Korean cuisine has evolved through a complex interaction of the natural environment and different cultural trends.[2][3]
Korean cuisine is largely based upon rice, vegetables, and meats. Traditional Korean meals are noted for the number of side dishes (banchan) that accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. Kimchi is served often, sometimes at every meal. Commonly used ingredients include sesame oil, doenjang (fermented bean paste), soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes and gochujang (fermented red chili paste).
Ingredients and dishes vary by province. Many regional dishes have become national, and dishes that were once regional have proliferated in different variations across the country. The Korean royal court cuisine once brought all of the unique regional specialties together for the royal family. Meals are regulated by Korean cultural etiquette.
Thank You!
God Bless

Stories of unification. Lessons from Germany for the Koreas.

LINKS: http://asianewsweekly.net/2014/12/03/stories-unification-lessons-germany-koreas/
It’s the dream for most of Korea’s older generation: unify the peninsula. Unfortunately, that’s all it is at this point - a dream. Without a collapse or deal brokered with the Kim up north, the tense relationship with the other Korea will continue for the foreseeable future.
But what does unification look like?
Seoul-based reporter Chance Dorland, a broadcast journalist in South Korea who runs the website Seoul It Up, took up the topic on his recent trip to Germany.
What do you think? Should the Korea’s unify? If so, what lessons can be learned from Germany and what steps should be taken?

DAY BREAK 06:00 Typhoon Chan-hom hits Korean peninsula

ARIRANG NEWS 06:00
Coming up today,... a weakening tropical storm Chan-hom moves further north,.. but it′s still lashing Korea′s southern regions with heavy rain and strong winds.
A full summit of all EU members has been cancelled while difficult eurozone talks on a third bailout deal for Greece continue in Brussels.
Plus,... as Tokyo attempts to whitewash history,... another document has emerged that proves Japan forced Koreans into slave labor at a controversial World War Two site that recently won UNESCO World Heritage recognition. Stay tuned for these stories and more.
Hello.... to our viewers around the world, it′s 6 a.m. on Monday, July thirteenth here in Seoul.
Thanks for joining us,... I′m Mark Broome.
Title: Typhoon Chan-hom hits Korean peninsula
We start with weather-related news...
And Typhoon Chan-hom, that′s since been downgraded to a tropical storm,... is currently heading north across North Korea and is expected to continue weakening as it passes over Pyongyang later in the day.
South Korea′s weather agency says a typhoon watch issued earlier in parts of South Korea has been lifted.
Chan-hom has brought heavy downpours to the southern part of the peninsula, with mountainous regions of Jeju Island receiving more than 14-hundred millimeters of precipitation so far.
Strong winds also toppled trees and traffic lights in the southern regions.
Fortunately,... no casualties have been reported.
Title: Korea, U.S. form task force to investigate wrong anthrax shipment
The Korean government has organized a task force with the United States to investigate an erroneous shipment of live anthrax to a U.S. base in Korea back in April.
Korea′s foreign ministry says the task force, formed under the joint Seoul-Washington committee on the Status of Forces Agreement, will review the incident and work to prevent a re-occurrence.
The two countries will hold separate committee meetings on Wednesday to discuss the shipment, review how the countries responded to the incident and outline priorities for the task force.
The Status of Forces Agreement governs the legal status of some 28-thousand and 500 U.S. troops stationed in Korea since the Korean War, which ended in an armistice back in 1953.
Title: Newly released document proves Japan forced Koreans into labor
A newly released document proves Japan forced Koreans into slave labor at a controversial World War Two site that recently gained UNESCO World Heritage recognition.
Kim Moon-gil..., an honorary professor of Busan University of Foreign Studies,... helped Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency obtain the three-page document from an undisclosed Japanese museum.
The document was written by the Yamano Coal Mine and calls for the construction of a barbed wire fence on a wall surrounding a dormitory for Korean workers to prevent them from climbing over it.
The mine, located near Fukuoka, was operated by Mitsubishi.

Typhoon Chan Hom weakens as it moves northeast

China's weather authority has downgraded the alert for typhoon Chan-Hom, which continues to weaken as it moves toward the northeast. The typhoon is expected to lessen to a tropical storm before tracking into the Korean Peninsula.
Rainstorms are expected to occur in Shandong, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang. Authorities in Zhejiang, where Chan-Hom first landed, say the typhoon may be the strongest in decades.

Truth Behind The Scene - North Korea - eDocumentary

North Korea (About this sound listen), officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK; Chosŏn'gŭl: 조선민주주의인민공화국; hancha: 朝鮮民主主義人民共和國; RR: Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk), is a country in East Asia, in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.
he capital and largest city is Pyongyang. North Korea shares a land border with China to the north and north-west, along the Amnok (Yalu) and Tumen rivers. A small section of the Tumen River also forms North Korea's border with Russia to the northeast.[5] The Korean Demilitarized Zone marks the boundary between North Korea and South Korea. The legitimacy of this border is not accepted by either side, as both states claim to be the legitimate government of the entire peninsula.

Peninsula Inside Ep14 Naengmyeon, a North Korean Summer Delicacy

Peninsula Inside Ep14 Naengmyeon, a North Korean Summer Delicacy

Every summer, diners line up outside a well-known Seoul restaurant, waiting to get a taste of cold noodles, or naengmyeon. South Korea′s iconic summer dish originates in North Korea, as the names of the two main varieties of naengmyeon, Pyongyang naengmyeon and Hamhung naengmyeon, suggest. What makes the North Korean delicacy so popular in South Korea and how did it find its way to the South? We talked to a North Korean defector who once worked at Okryukwan, a Pyongyang-based franchise noodle house to find out more.
여름철 서울의 유명 냉면 맛집 앞은 줄서서 기다리는 사람들로 진풍경을 이루기 일쑤. 그런데, 남한의 여름 별미인 냉면의 원조는 바로 북한의 평양냉면과 함흥냉면이라는 사실! 과연 북한 냉면은 어떤 맛이며, 북한 음식인 냉면이 한국에서 유독 인기인 이유는 무엇일까? 북한 냉면 맛집 옥류관 주방장 출신의 탈북민을 직접 만나 북한 냉면의 모든 것을 알아본다.

Weather conditions in the Korean Peninsula for the last few days were completely different from one region to another. Heavy showers soaked the southern parts of the nation， including Seogwipo in Jeju island with 265 millimeters of torrential rain，... while Seoul only saw 3.5millimeters over the past two days.
Thursday was muggy under party sunny skies in the capital and tomorrow is shaping up to be even hotter... with highs expected to soar to 33. Tomorrow′s UV index is also expected to stand between high and very high， so it′s best if you avoid being outside in the afternoon.
And as for tomorrow′s readings in other parts，
Daegu and Gwangju rise to 29 and 31... and Busan tops out at 27.
Daejeon climbs to 31，... Jeju Island and Dokdo will hit 28 and 25.
Sweltering heat will peak on Saturday with the mercury skyrocketing to 34 then we′ll have a relief on Sunday afternoon with rain which should linger until Monday. And this time， the metro area will receive a nice amount of rain
That′s all for the weather， good night.
